And since summer of the season of blockbusters, I thought it would be fun to share my top three favorite movies from (almost) every genre.

Before we get to the lists I want to offer a couple disclaimers.

First off, I’ve seen almost every movie (not counting horror movies) released in theaters in the last fifteen years. Not to mention the countless movies from the 80s and 90s. Does this make me a movie critic? Absolutely not. All I’m saying is I’ve seen thousands of movies, enough to put together this list with a pretty good set of data based off personal experience.

Secondly, this list isn’t meant to be a best of the best movies list. IMBD and Rotten Tomatoes already have that covered. These are just my favorites, pure and simple. While each movie may not be teh best, they are all incredible, and I guarantee you’ll find some gems on the list that you haven’t seen.

Lastly, I know the title says “My Top 10 Favorite,” but you’ll notice some genres have a few more and some a few less. That’s just the way it goes!

Horror

I’m going to be 100% honest here. When previews of scary movies come on in the theater…I close my eyes. There are only a handful of horror movies I can remember watching, and just typing them here means I might be sleeping with the lights on.

Western

Most people will tell you the best line from Tombstone is the part when Doc confronts Ringo, and says, “I’m your Huckleberry.” While that may be the most popular, the following is far and away the best.

What? No musicals! Think Footloose (the original), Grease (the original), The Sound of Music, etc. And how could you not have My Cousin Vinny on your comedy list? lol. I love reading your lists like this; introduces me to movies I might not ever have known about otherwise. A lot of your favorites would be on our lists, too. Then there are some we try to watch every time they’re on: Footloose (again, the original); Rambo: First Blood (or at least the beginning of it; Tombstone (love the whole movie, but we’d watch if only for the part where Kurt Russell grabs that guy’s gun and knocks him over the head with it; and The Shawshank Redemption, to name a few. And we loved The Cutting Edge.

Sorry Terry, not a big musical fan. But, I will admit Footloose (the original with Kevin Bacon) was pretty epic.
